The whole point of DCH iirc was to decouple the rendering and display engine driver from the User/Control/Config interface.
This would basically allow Dell/Hp/Surface to use the same latest Intel/Nvidia/AMD drivers but have their differentiation and config apps updated on their own schedule while the OS takes care of the actual driver components.
so that's a feature not a bug.
- Aerroon 5y agoYes, and in practice it's a pain that forces/highly encourages you to use the Microsoft Store.
- zeusk 5y agoWell the initial version of Store (it didn't really improve in iterations of 10) was horrible UX and dodgy state changes. It's essentially just a webpage and a very bad one at that. The new store that I've been using in internal builds is far more responsive. I believe they will require a Microsoft ID to access it, but other than that I have no complaints about the new version.
- benbristow 5y agoI thought the current store was a native UWP app? Am I wrong?
- zeusk 5y agoYes, the current store is a very janky UWP app written in HTML and javascript. I believe their original motive was to share the code base between the online store and the desktop client.
